The Property

Juniper Cottage is a fine historic property, thought to date back to the mid 16th century and once served as the village Guild Hall. It has impressive, well proportioned and flexible accommodation over three floors. Although the property is not listed it displays many notable features, including fine oak timber frame and stud work throughout, with impressive inglenook fireplaces. The timber front door opens into an entrance hall with doors leading to the reception rooms and a staircase to the first floor. Upon entering the dining room the character and quality of the home is immediately apparent with fine exposed oak beams and inglenook fireplace housing a wood burning stove and bressumer beam over. Exposed studwork opens into a snug with a pretty fireplace, flanked by two built-in cupboards and window to the front aspect. The sitting room has delightful character with studwork and features a seven foot wide inglenook with a wood burning stove and a bressumer beam over. The room is well lit with a window to the front aspect and a wide opening into the play room/study with French style windows opening onto the rear patio. The kitchen can be accessed from both the play room/study and dining room and has a door to the patio and garden beyond. The kitchen is well fitted with a range of timber fronted wall and base units and roll edged work surfaces with double bowl sink unit, electric double oven and Calor gas hob. A feature is the original bread oven set into the wall. The large window overlooks the patio and rear garden. An open doorway leads to the pantry/boot room with space for a large "American style" fridge/freezer. A further door leads to the laundry room, and a door leading to one of the two cellars. The office has a window to the front aspect, an open fireplace and fitted bookshelves. There is a rear hallway with access to the second cellar and a small lobby which leads to a bathroom, comprising a four piece suite with panelled bath, shower cubicle, low level WC, pedestal wash basin, bidet, tiled flooring, part tiled walls and window to the rear aspect. The second staircase rises from this rear hallway to the first floor. The master bedroom has two fitted wardrobe cupboards and walk-in airing/storage cupboard, a dressing room and en-suite bathroom comprising a corner bath, low level WC, bidet and vanity wash basin. Bedroom two off the central landing has a front aspect and an adjacent shower room comprises a shower cubicle, low level WC, and wash basin. Bedroom three has a front aspect and fitted cupboards. Beyond this is a landing with attractive open studwork and Velux window, and is large enough to serve as a TV or sitting room. From here is the staircase leading to bedroom four with Velux windows to the rear aspect and a small window to the gable end. Again this features some delightful timberwork. Bedroom five is accessed from the central staircase, has two Velux windows to the rear aspect and gable end window. Please note that bedrooms four and five have some restricted head height. There is a wealth of cupboard/storage space throughout the property.
